Handmade Gifts

So I made a couple more things I want to share with you :)

I love these Flowers

I know everyone knows how to make these (if not, all you do is attach strips of toilet paper roll together)but I just LOVE them. I rolled some paper to make "beads" and I think they look adorable.

*handmade*Teacher Gift Idea

We grabbed a couple cans and scrubbed them out. I painted them and then added strips of fabric to the top. I wrapped them in twine to secure them together and added a few buttons and letters...

Lots of Thanx & New Ideas

I don't know about you but anything D.I.Y. intrigues me. I am just starting to realize how big of an industry this really is. I have always been "crafty" but just starting this blog has opened my eyes up to a whole new world. For that alone, I thank all of you. Every blog I visit is so awesome and jam packed with creative ideas...I am in awe of all you. I have become obsessed  fascinated with up-cycling and wood/window projects.  I was on someones blog which lead me to someone else's and so on and so forth when I came across this site http://ana-white.com/category/plans/skilllevel/starterprojects and have found SOOO many awesome D.I.Y.  projects that I just had to share with all of you.  I have some old windows I am working on and about 5 pallets that are just laying around and now I am so pumped that I am stopping just to tell you guys/gals about it!! Here are some pics of what I am working on with plain old scrap wood and old windows...and these are the before pics, LOL. My husband told me yesterday,as he was toting around the pallets, "I really don't see what you see.  All I see is garbage and then I come home from work and it's gorgeous."  Aww....


It really DID look rough...




Oh the possibilities...
